Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3465023, member: 9052"] Yeah I think if Jansen fell yesterday to those short balls he was fending off with his hands, then we could've picked up a couple more yesterday as there was still 5-8 overs left when Jansen came to the crease and was struggling. Harmer has been looking very solid in defence though... he's getting across in front of his off stump and leaving anything slightly wide, whilst also closing up the gap between bat and pad. The pace bowlers probably needed to attack the stumps with him and aim for lbw or caught in front of square. I think that's where Australian bowling has been going wrong. India came to Australia and won by being relentless on our stumps and forcing us to play. We look to target the 5th stump and get edges behind, which is fine and generally works, but if a batter really applies themselves and is watching the ball close enough then they can get away with leaving a lot of balls and suddenly we never look close to getting a wicket.
